Step-by-step walkthrough
Free the heroes
Select the jumping friend, move left and jump onto the yellow plate above the starting passage. Keep the friend there until the yellow gate rises and both heroes have walked through.
Climb the lower stairs
Each hero walks towards the right step, jumps straight up briefly, then steers right onto it. Fireboy collects its red diamond. Jump left onto the next shelf, collecting Watergirl’s blue diamond.
Visit the matching pools
Watergirl jumps left to the blue pool, walks to its far end and jumps for the blue diamond. Fireboy jumps right to the red pool and jumps for its diamond. Each then jumps back towards the raised middle arch.
Bring the friend to blue
The jumping friend leaves yellow, follows the lower right step and middle shelf, then crosses the blue pool to reach the middle arch. From the left side of the blue lift, jump right onto the high blue plate. This lowers the lift for the heroes.
Raise both heroes
Both heroes jump from the arch onto the lowered blue platform. Move the friend a little left off the blue plate, let the lift return to its upper stop, then move the friend to the lift’s left edge.
Reach the green plate
The friend makes the long jump left to the green shelf and stands on green. Its horizontal platform moves towards the heroes. Both heroes jump left onto it; Fireboy collects the red diamond along this transfer.
Collect blue and return together
Watergirl jumps above the horizontal platform for the blue diamond. Move the friend left off green to return the platform. As it reaches the left shelf, both heroes jump left together before it retracts beneath that shelf.
Climb the upper steps
Starting near the left wall, each hero jumps upwards before steering right onto the stairway. Watergirl jumps for the blue diamond over the lower stair. Continue up the steps and jump for Fireboy’s red diamond on the broad upper shelf.
Board the orange lift
Both heroes cross the upper shelf and jump right onto the orange platform. Leave them there while the friend climbs the upper stairs.
Reach the final lever
The friend climbs onto the upper shelf, walks near its right end, then jumps left onto the exit shelf. Walk left to touch the orange lever, raising the heroes’ platform.
Enter the matching doors
From the raised orange platform, each hero jumps up before steering left onto the exit shelf. Walk left to the matching doors. Either hero may enter first, and either player may control the jumping friend.
This route was verified in the game simulation using player controls, required diamonds, and both matching exits. It describes this version’s independently reconstructed room, not an official walkthrough.

If you get stuck
Check the unfinished objective
The diamonds in this room are optional. If you only want to finish, bring both heroes fully inside their own matching doors.
A gate or platform moved back
A pressure plate releases when its rider or weight leaves. Keep your partner on it until you are safely across. Levers stay set after you leave; check their ON or OFF state before crossing.
You missed a moving platform
Return to safe ground and use the connected switch to bring it back. Board before your partner releases the plate or changes the lever. Avoid jumping into its underside; line up with the open shaft first.
You cannot recover safely
Pause and choose Restart level to reset both heroes, diamonds, weights, and switches. Previously completed levels stay saved. Follow the step order before moving a box or releasing a weight.
